SDMB - Straight Dope discussion

The SDMB has a higher incidence of published authors than the population as a whole - which of them have people read?

I know jsgoddess has a book of poetry published -

and cricetus has just had his first book published -

What other ones?

I've had work in anthologies, but I don't put my real name on the web outside of work.

Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon. This author is a Doper, I don’t know if it’s okay to say which one. Sadly, it’s not me.

Do SDMB lurkers count? Today, I spent an hour reading a thread on knights and armour. I've been a fan for several years, but I never had the balls to leap into the fray. My lance is not pointy enough, I fear. And so I lurked in my hovel and wrote a novel, as jesters should.

Wow - cool stuff! I have to read these.

I'm reading cricetus's book now. It's pretty good.

Oh, and let's not forget former Doper Eve Golden. I haven't read any of her stuff yet but I plan to. Someone in my Yahoo group raves about her, says she writes the best film bios ever.

The doper pepperlandgirl is an author, Pepper Espinoza.

Jim Beaver (Deadwood, Supernatural, Harper's Island) only posted in one thread (the one about George Reeves, after the movie Hollywoodland came out) so he's not really a Doper, but he's a good guy, and he's published a memoir -- Life's That Way -- which will be released on April 16. It's a year in his life, told in e-mails, after his daughter was diagnosed with autism and his wife was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
